Ruth Raelene Hill, wife of Ghana Accra West Mission President Norman C. Hill, passed away on Sunday, November 8 from a medical condition. Born in Ogden, Utah, her Church service first took her to Texas, where her husband served as a counselor in the Texas Houston Mission. Later she traveled to Ghana in July of 2013 when her husband was called as the mission president over the Ghana Accra West Mission.
She was the mother of five children, who will miss her dearly.
About her death, Church spokesman Eric Hawkins said:
